tion of research facilities at the
multi - million dollar Georgia
Mental Health Institute is lag
ging a year behind schedule,
mostly because of faulty floors.
The concrete floors on the
fourth and fifth floors of the
six-story building were poured
unevenly. Concrete slabs de
signed to make the floors even
have developed hairline cracks,
a spokesman for the Institution
said Thursday.
The floors, which cover 60,000
square feet, were to be ready
for occupancy this month. But
work is only about 20 per cent
complete.
The area was to have been
used for a research program.
Democrats Have
Party Deficit
ATLANTA (UPl)—State Dem
ocratic Party officials have an
nounced that a party deficit of
about $210,000 has been cut to
approximately $41,000.
State Chairman James H.
Gray of Albany said one propo
sal being discussed to wipe out
the deficit involves the forma
tion of a “governor’s club.”
Members of the club would
make contributions.
Gray said he plans to meet
with Gov. Lester Maddox and
Party Treasurer W. D. Tripe
on Aug. 29 to further discuss
ways of eliminating the indebt-
edness. A
Nix Cites Need
For Kindergarten
ATLANTA (UPI) — Georgia
needs a compulsory kindergar
ten system if it intends to
remain on a par with educa
tional systems in other states,
according to State School Silpt.
Jack Nix.
“If we in Georgia expect to
have an educational system
equal with other states, we
must now consider a statewide
kindergarten system,” Nix told
a House subcommittee on pre
school training Thursday. “The
expansion of the idea of knowl
edge requires that we get the
children earlier.”
He said it was essential that
children should be introduced to
the educational experience dur
ing their pre - school years,
which he said were “the most
formative years of a child’s
life.”
Won’t Tolerate
Fanatics—Maddox
MOULTRIE, Ga. (UPI) —
Gov. Lester Maddox warned
again Thursday night that his
administration will not tolerate
“the unreasoning and blind acts
of fanatics” prevalent in recent
rioting in other areas of the na
tion.
“What we are seeing is an
attempt by a group of misled
and misdirected extremists to
burn and ruin our country,”
Maddox said at an appreciation
dinner here. “And the sad trag
edy is that some leaders in
government, business and edu
cation are encouraging it and
the Communist Party is financ
ing them.”
